Argentinian target: Vasco keen on Boca winger Exequiel Zeballos | OneFootball

Vasco continues to closely monitor the South American market and remains interested in signing right winger Exequiel Zeballos, 24, who plays for Boca Juniors. The report that the young Argentine attacker is on Vasco’s radar was shared by journalist Lucas Pedrosa.

The player is under contract with the La Bombonera side until the end of December 2026. Despite the close monitoring and approval of the player’s technical profile behind the scenes at São Januário, there are currently no formal negotiations underway between the clubs’ boards.

Vasco’s leadership is evaluating quick attacking options to meet requests from head coach Pedro Emanuel, looking for players who can provide depth and create imbalance down the flanks. The scouting process is aimed at identifying players nearing the end of their contracts who could represent good market opportunities.

Vasco’s strategy for the final stretch of the window

With the close of the CBF transfer window approaching, the Cruz-Maltino board is analyzing the contract situations of potential targets before formalizing offers. The priority is to find players who are strong dribblers and capable of quick transitions.

Preliminary talks are meant to understand the financial demands of the winger’s camp and Boca Juniors’ expectations for a possible release. If the financial picture is favorable, Vasco is considering taking further steps to try to put together an approach.

Who is Exequiel Zeballos?

Developed in Boca Juniors’ own youth academy, Exequiel Zeballos has long been regarded as one of the great technical prospects in Argentine football. The forward made his professional debut for the Xeneize in 2020 and quickly drew attention for his pace, one-on-one ability, close control, and versatility to play on either wing, while also earning call-ups to Argentina’s youth national teams.

After overcoming serious injuries that interrupted his run in past seasons, Zeballos has regained match rhythm and a regular presence in Boca Juniors’ first-team squad. The player is entering the final stretch of his contract seeking a bigger international role, making him a highly valued option on the radar of clubs in South American and Brazilian football.
